I will present my daily work and study notes in this page.

Kinetic Physics Theory

The main work of my Ph.D. project involves using the Vlasov-Maxwell set of equations, combined with Solar Orbiter observations and our dispersion solver, to investigate the kinetic physics of the solar wind, such as wave-particle interactions and microinstabilities. The physical basis, including the derivation and physical meaning of these equations, is reviewed in the document. This document will be continuously updated to include the majority of the theoretical part of my Ph.D.

The Arbitary Linear Plasma Solver (ALPS) code

The Arbitary Linear Plasma Solver (ALPS) code solves the Vlasov-Maxwell dispersion relation in hot (even relativistic) magnetized plasma. ALPS allows for any number of particle species with arbitary gyrotrpic equilibrium distribution functions supporting waves with any direction of propagation with respect to the background magnetic field. This code is developed by Daniel Verscharen et al. (2018). The code is available here. In this file, we will introduce the principle of the code and present the instruction for using this code.

Application of High-resolution High-precision Spectral Observations in Solar Physics

With but few exceptions, quantitatively researches of the Sun are based on the interpretation of spectroscopic observations. In this review, we introduced how the Zeeman effect and Doppler shifts are used to measure some key properties. Some important wavelengths that used to study the solar atmosphere were also highlighted. This is the work of my research intern at the Nanjing Institute of Astronomical Optics and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
